Archery seasons sneaking up right around the corner, hope you're getting locked in. Any vids you'd like to see? Have a great week friends

I bought one. It rattled non stop on every shot. I tightened every screw down, making sure not to strip any of them. Couldn't get it to stop rattling.

Also, the fibers weren't the brightest in low light. I think black gold gets the advantage, there. But in high light, the ultraview pins would Starburst.

Like you, I felt that it was a bit "fragile" with the micro click. Since it was going on a hunting rig, I sent it back after a week.

Been using the black gold dual trac pro (micro adjust) with 0.010 fibers and a shot hogg boonie triple stack with 0.019 fibers on my setups. Both sights are a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the UV. I think they are better built for a hunting rig.

Just my $0.02. I know UV has a ton of fans who swear by their products. I love their hinge 2 and have been shooting it for a couple years. I just think their sights need some more RnD.

I came across your channel and while I am a target shooter and don't even hunt, your comments and suggestions are more than fair. Especially considering the price point of this sight. It's up there with high end target sites.

You look way better in my opinion, thanks i really enjoy your videos and get aLot out them

[brettwelch]

I was super excited to get one, and was immediately ticked off. being a lefty, all they did was take a right handed sight and flip it upside down. the locking lever is at the bottom the pins were all wonky, and it was not what I was expecting for the price tag. hopefully in the near future they will make a true lefthanded sight, but for now just waiting for my boonie. loving the new haircut!

[erxkeel]

I agree 100%. The no zero stop adjustment is aggravating.

Ive been using the UV3XL scope since it came out, on a Hogg father sight bar and it has been phenomenal! The slider in concept seems great, but there is still some major improvements they need to tackle first. I will be looking to get the spot Hogg boogie sight bar next to mate up with my UV3XL to keep a good thing going. Great overall review of this system Tim!

I recently bought the UV slider with the 2 pin small housing. I love it and just shot a 3D event with it. Also nice haircut

[scottdavis]

So for the most expensive hunting sight on the market it's lacking basic features of sights at a fraction of its cost. But you get a really cool carrying case though.

[DEX-untx]

Love my slider! I used 6 other sights in the past 4 years and not one has come close.

Hello, nice presentation.
A question if I have several scope of other brands is it possible to apply them to the UV Slider Sight Only?
How is it fixed?
Thanks and regards
Sady

I love my slider. No pin brightness issues. Easy, reliable, and I can take the scope off when I put it in my case. I was worried about the gamble when I bought it because I wanted the SH Boonie but they still have not released yet. I have had zero issues with this sight. Could have done without the case though, it doesn't benefit me in any way.

I will say, this is not the most expensive sight. Garmin Xero A1i still wears that crown. 😂

[AkiDarkWolf]

Have the UV slider in the BridgeLock version. It’s a really nice sight. I only shoot foam with it so there is no need for a zero stop. The first pin on the vertical is supposed to be the yellow one as far as I heard. And there is a second indicator for the bonus pin, if someone didn’t know already.

I‘m thinking about upgrading to a Axcel Achieve XP Pro. I really want to try out something with a fine adjustment and don’t need the fast dial capability, I thought I would need to be honest.

Hey Tim, Newer archer here and just found your channel and have been enjoying your content. I especially enjoy your budget bow content and was wondering if you had any review/test videos on Mission bows? I recently (1 year ago) purchased the MXR from my local pro shop. It seems good but I don't know much about archery yet.

[Chesebrobrian]

The pins without the light were soooo dim for me. I had to get rid of mine. But I think that’s the only thing wrong with it

[scottsellars]

Ok. That’s all good and all. Would you buy it again. ?

[tylerfarley]

I just got one two weeks ago. I like everything about the scope but for a $600 sight the pin brightness sucks in low light conditions. Which is a big one for me.

[jtclinton]

I’m liking mine so far. My only problem with it is the pins. They’re so dull like hardly any color when shooting on a really sunny day. Supper hard to see them. That’s pretty much it though!

[DavidBowCrazyBabyak]

See I put that scope on my dialed site and it eliminated all those problems. The only thing that I don't have is a first axis coming off of the bow into the site, but if that bar is bent that's the only way it wouldn't be square, right?

[CharlesAllen-qp]

It needs some improvements but they are on the right track.
